With the economy in the toilet these days, we got a great deal on a tan micro-fiber recliner for Jonathan with the appropriate "sink factor". It arrived this week and we realized real quick that we would need to make some changes.

While Jonathan was in Colorado for work Friday night, I tried every possible furniture configuration (the dog looked at me like I was crazy) and came to the conclusion that our coffee table had to go. The dining table almost got kicked out too, but we took out the leaf and it is not too bad now. All of our furniture is hand-me-down and our one-bedroom apartment just can't hold it all. We always said we would keep our furniture until we moved back to Oregon and at that point just leave it here and buy everything new up there, but it looks like we will be getting a new, more reasonable-sized, coffee table in the near future. The new arrangement has a lot more open space on the floor for visitors to sleep on the air mattress :).

We hung out with Nick and Stacey, Pete and Charissa, and Nate and Amy on Saturday night. There are some really great people here that build eachother up and love to laugh. We are also really enjoying hanging out with our Sunday lunch crew every week. Through my gratitude glasses, our tiny little love nest is cozy, not cramped, and we know great people near and far.
